Title: 1958 Airstream - California

We just listed our 1958 Airstream NULL for Sale on Airstream Classifieds.



Year: 1958 Make: Airstream Model: NULL Length: '





The "Footer" or "Traveller" is the closest I can find to my 17-18 foot small Airstream. In my research, the Norwalk, Ca. made 1958 trailer may not have been officially named. The serial number is 4106.

This little trailer is beautiful and in good condition for such an old timer. She's not polished, but will shine up very well. Much of her life she's been sheltered under a roof. I'm not certain of the originality of the cabinetry, but it is of that era for certain. There are black painted wood doors and grey cabinet boxes. Original items include:

dome light,

Hehr windows and screens intact,

bargman #9 tail lights and all running lights undamaged,

classic black and gold California license plate from the era,

indoor walls,

dinette table,

hubcaps,

A/C on roof is of the era (some damage from age),

Princess 3 burner gas stove top,

sink and fixtures,

dometic fridge (needs work),

screen door with locking cover door,

all running light covers are intact (not hooked up and may need some electrical work),

hubcaps and brush guards,

original locking door handle with one original key and another recently made key,

The aluminum skin is intact with one shallow dent and it will shine up well. The tires are in great shape too.

The A/C on the roof may not be original and hasn't been run in 10 years. Probably needs charging. The floor has vinyl and feels solid except for one small area that has not worsened in 20 years. Dinette bench cushions need replacement due to old foam. Curtains need replacing. There's lots of storage under the dinette benches, under the full bed and in cabinetry. The floor heater has not been utilized since I've owned it but there is an access panel. Our very small electrical space heater heats this little trailer up very quickly and we thought it easier to use that provided we have power access.

This is the first year with 7 panel end caps. There are tear drop shaped wheel cutouts.

This trailer needs no overhaul unless you wish to remodel everything. There is no wet bath, but carries a port-a-potty in one of the floor to ceiling closets. The floor plan includes a full sized bed and the dinette converts to a bed as well. It appears that the lower cabinets may have been moved a few inches to accommodate this wonderful full sized bed. Or not. I found this floor plan online some years ago but have not been able to find it recently.

It's hard to part with this Airstream but it's not getting used and is currently not sheltered. Someone else needs to use it and love it.

It can be seen in Long Barn, Ca., which is about 20 miles east of Sonora, Ca. in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
